Hi there,

I have a question about changing meds. I had a small (nearly a week-long) episode of mania recently and my doctor is now asking me to change meds because they make me too sleepy esp. in the mornings (am currently on Depakote, Zoloft and Perphenazine). He's suggested that I switch to Abilify, but I'm really afraid to after reading about tardive dyskinesia. Depakote makes me sleepy and disorientated in the mornings, but other than that I don't seem to have any other side effects (I've been on it for three months).

Has anyone had any major short or long-term side effects from taking abilify?

Regards
